On November 2, 2026 the Site Spider crawled 4696 pages and 1295 assets of www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca, starting from https://www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca/. It scored 74 out of 100, a result that needs work. 13 of 33 checks found something to fix, led by meta descriptions (1,932), heavy assets (19), title tags (937); 5 checks passed. Most of the points went to meta descriptions (−6.8), heavy assets (−6), title tags (−4.1). 15 checks found something the score does not count, listed as noted. 4 checks were not run because the crawl fetched nothing for them. The list below shows each check's result, the fix plan, when present, explains what to do first, and the security review at the end of the page covers headers, transport, libraries and exposed files.

Security review
Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawlYour website has multiple security header issues and some cookies lack protective flags. An API key was found in the code, which should be restricted. Addressing these concerns can significantly enhance your security posture.
- 0 high
- 4 medium
- 3 low
- 1 info
- 1
Missing HTTP Strict Transport SecurityMedium
Why it matters: Without HSTS, visitors typing the address without HTTPS can be intercepted on the first request.
Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload.
Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security
- 2
Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium
Why it matters: Without this header, your pages can be embedded in frames, increasing susceptibility to clickjacking.
Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY or use Content-Security-Policy with frame-ancestors.
Evidence: Clickjacking protection
- 3
Missing Secure Cookie FlagsMedium
Why it matters: Cookies without Secure or HttpOnly flags are more vulnerable to attacks and can be accessed by scripts.
Fix: Set these flags for cookies: Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict or Lax.
Evidence: Cookie flags
- 4
Leaked API KeyMedium
Why it matters: An exposed Google API key can be misused, leading to unauthorized access or charges.
Fix: Restrict the API key's usage by HTTP referrer in the Google Cloud console.
Evidence: Keys and secrets in page code
- 5
Missing X-Content-Type-Options HeaderLow
Why it matters: Without this header, browsers may execute files as scripts based on content rather than declared types.
Fix: Add the header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.
Evidence: MIME sniffing protection
- 6
Missing Referrer-Policy HeaderLow
Why it matters: Absence of this policy can result in sensitive information being shared with third-party sites.
Fix: Add the header: Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade.
Evidence: Referrer policy
- 7
Mixed Content IssuesLow
Why it matters: Resources loaded over HTTP on HTTPS pages may lead to security warnings or facilitate attacks.
Fix: Update links to load all resources over HTTPS.
Evidence: Mixed content
- 8
Missing Permissions-Policy HeaderInfo
Why it matters: Lack of this header allows injected scripts more access than necessary.
Fix: Add the header: Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=(), geolocation=().
Evidence: Permissions policy

- FoundKeys and secrets in page codeMedium
1 credential-like value found in code served to every visitor: Google API key.
- Google API key AIzaSy…o0 (39 chars) in https://www.dentistdirectorycanada.ca/: browser keys are expected in pages, but must be restricted by HTTP referrer and API in the Google Cloud console
- NoteThird-party scripts
Scripts run from 5 other domains without Subresource Integrity, so a compromise of any of them changes what runs on this site. (Tag managers and analytics rarely support SRI; a Content-Security-Policy that names these hosts is the usual control.)
- maps.google.com (40 script tags)
- www.googletagmanager.com (40 script tags)
- html5shim.googlecode.com (40 script tags)
- pagead2.googlesyndication.com (39 script tags)
- hk335.infusionsoft.com (1 script tag)
- NoteSensitive paths in robots.txt
robots.txt lists 1 path that look private. robots.txt is public and does not restrict access, so it doubles as a map for anyone probing the site; those paths need real access control.
- Disallow: /wp-admin/
